Red house with green roof - Barboursville, Virginia
Color and Imagination
It was a cloudy and cool morning in November of 2007 when I saw this house just outside the small village of Barboursville. There was no sign of life around the place, but the mailbox looked new. The house invited curiosity, but did not look welcoming. It was vaguely mysterious, like an illustration in an old book of stories for children.
Yesterday, I drove by this house and found that it has been painted a respectable beige. The roof is no longer green and the story book mystery about the place has drained away with the color.
Just past this house, across the railroad tracks, lies the small village of Barboursville.
